Facts about Tudor and KH domain-containing protein.
Required for the last steps of primary piRNA biogenesis by participating in the processing of 31-37 nt intermediates into mature piRNAs. May act in pi-bodies and piP-bodies by transferring piRNA precursors or intermediates to or between these granules.

Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Probable component of the meiotic nuage, also named P granule, a germ-cell-specific organelle required to repress transposon activity during meiosis. Colocalizes with pi- and piP-bodies, a subset of the nuage which contains secondary piRNAs. Associated with mitochondria in the germline.
